Cupid’s Advice:
Figuring out if you want to be a parent is such a big decision and even though you may have found who you think is “the one” they might not have the same plans as you to become a parent. If your partner isn’t interested in having kids and you are, Cupid has some advice for you:
1. Figure out if there’s an underlying issue: A lot of the time if someone doesn’t want to have kids, it’s not necessarily because they don’t want to be a parent, but because of something that they think may prevent them from being the best parent they can be. For instance, lack of time, lack of money, or lack of space could be factors. Talk to your partner and see if this is an issue that can be resolved before starting a family.

2. Be patient: Rushing into a big decision like becoming a parent isn’t a good idea. If you are ready to have kids and your partner isn’t, give them some time. They may change their mind over the course of time and when they do then you’ll both be ready to have a baby.

3. Keep and open mind: Try not to be stuck on exactly what you want. Hear your partner out and see if you can come to a comprise and agree on something that you both are happy with.
